The circumstances surrounding the death of a Greenville woman whose body was found outside a West End funeral home Wednesday remain uncertain as investigators await results of an autopsy.

Erica Antida Butler, 45, of 322 Nichol Street Apartment C, was found dead at about 7:45 a.m. outside a number of businesses on Pendleton Street and Arlington Avenue, according to Greenville County Deputy Coroner Kent Dill.

"Due to the circumstances surrounding the death, limited information is available," the coroner's office said in a release. "The cause and manner of death is pending autopsy results and further investigation."

The body was discovered on a sidewalk outside Upstate Family Funeral Services. Authorities said they don't have enough information to determine whether foul play might be involved.

The woman's body was found face down on a cement sidewalk outside the funeral home, near a dentistry, real estate office and AID Upstate, which is an HIV prevention and treatment nonprofit.

Rain came down Wednesday morning as authorities taped off the area to investigate.
